Tiny homes and traditional trailers are made of different things. tiny homes are made of wood, granite, tile... RVs are made from plastic and cardboard. RVs are a lot lighter. Tiny houses are more solid. Tiny homes are made to live in 365 days/year for many years. RVs are made to live in for a week or so, maybe a few weeks per year. Currently tiny homes building is a lot more labor intensive because there arent factory lines for manufacturing. It's usually a few builders hand crafting each one. If youre looking for the cheapest way to live, its definitely not a tiny house. A used RV is much cheaper. Most people who are looking at tiny houses arent looking for the cheapest way to get shelter. They want a sustainable lifestyle that includes using fewer resources, in a home made of natural materials, often off-the-grid. Our website at wishomes.us had an essay about the advantages on tiny house living, if youre interested.
